Binghamton Zoo at Ross Park's red panda exhibit is part of the Red Panda Species Survival Plan, a program designed to manage a genetically healthy population of red pandas in North American zoos, according to a news release.

Red pandas are listed as endangered because their population has declined by 50 percent over the past 20 years, zoo officials said.
